Issue Description. 4. The trustees shall have the power to take any and all actions that in the judgment of the trustees are necessary or proper to fulfill the purposes of the Trust Agreements, including the requirement that 100% of the Abatement Funds distributed shall be used to abate the opioid crisis in accordance with the terms hereof. 5. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Tribal Opioid Litigation Settlement Trust Distribution Procedures, the trustees shall implement these Tribal Opioid Litigation Settlement Trust Distribution Procedures in accordance with the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975, 25 U.S.C. 5301 et seq. and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Tribe, Tribal Organization or inter-tribal consortium may charge its federally-approved indirect cost rate consistent with such Act with respect to opioid abatement programs carried out by such Tribe, Tribal Organization or inter-tribal consortium. Schedule B Approved Uses Support treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and any co-occurring Substance Use Disorder or Mental Health (SUD/MH) conditions through evidence-based or evidence-informed programs or strategies that may include, but are not limited to, the following: PART ONE: TREATMENT
Issue Description. While innovation ecosystems refer to the innovation-specific environment of a company, the industry sector a company is part of, is not per se related to innovation. However, for a long time, scholars studying innovation processes have argued and examined how innovation patterns differ between industrial sectors. The industrial economic literature has highlighted the role of structural features of industrial sectors such as the degree of concentration and vertical integration. The new industrial organization theory has focused on firm behaviour instead. For a review of these literatures, see (Xxxxxxx 2001). More recently, scholars working with an evolutionary economics perspective have characterized differences between sectors via technological trajectories and regimes (Pavitt 1984, Xxxxxxx and Orsenigo 1997, Xxxxxxx 2001, Xxx xx Xxxx 2003, Castellacci 2008) or sectoral (rather than national or regional) systems of innovation (Xxxxxxx 1997, Xxxxxxx 2002). In this section we offer a concise discussion of conceptual building blocks to identify and characterize relevant sectoral characteristics, and how these relate to differences in innovation patterns, e.g. regarding the distribution and coordination of innovation labour between firms and users. In addition we highlight some limitations, in particular the reminder that within sectors there will be diversity among firms. The chapter concludes with identifying implications for the IIT project, especially with regard to the sampling of firms to be investigated.
Issue Description. The concept of open innovation (OI) has received high attention in recent years, both from an academic and practitioner’s perspective. It is based on the idea that firms can and should use methods, strategies and business models to increase the exchange of knowledge between different parts of organisations, networks, value chains and markets to improve the success rate of innovations, and in this sense links up with the innovation ecosystem concept elaborated above. Web-enabled tools like crowd sourcing (see 4.2) have importantly contributed to the success of this concept as drivers of open innovation practices. The popularity of the OI concept comes from the benefits to firms stressed in many publications from being exposed to ideas external to an organisation, thereby reducing development costs and risks (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2003; Lichtenthaler, 2011). Sources of these ideas and collaborations include users, suppliers, venture capitalists and competitors (x.x. Xxxxx et al., 2005; Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx, 2005; xxx Xxxxxx, 1986), associating the concept with other practices such as demand-led innovation and supply and value chain management. The IIT project aims at adding to our understanding of the challenges related to practicing open innovation, the variety of its practical manifestations across different companies and its relative importance to different types of firms, and at exploring the technologies, processes and competences required to support it at company and network level. In the following the concept of OI is described in more detail, highlighting also insights on different forms of OI being practiced, in order to concretize the research approach taken by the IIT project.
Issue Description. Web-enabled tools such as team-based workspaces and crowdsourcing are important means to support effective innovation practices. This section provides an overview of the state of the art and best practices of such tools and explains how such tools support modern open innovation practice. In this section we do not cover general, conceptual tools for management of innovation as the focus is primarily to address web- enabled tools which support specific aspects of innovation process and innovation management. However some attention is paid to how the ICT tools support collaboration, as collaboration is an important precondition for effective and open innovation (Ebersberger et al. 2015). The main issues addressed are: 1. What are the tools commonly in use and to be considered as good practice, 2. How do such tools affect the actual innovation process and the management of innovation, 3. What are the current gaps in innovation support tools and what are the requirements for the future.

Issue Description. Innovation management is a complex and multidimensional practice, and draws on many disciplines that traditionally have been studied separately (Xxxx, 2001). Consequently, the field contains several research streams, such as studies on organizational learning, project management, and top management teams, which are to some extent independent (Xxxxxxx and Apaydin, 2010). This shows in textbooks and various review articles of the field (e.g., Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2008; Xxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2006);To further develop this research field, a more systemic understanding and a holistic view has been called for, in order to better understand the relationships between existing theoretical constructs and streams of research. Also from the practitioner’s perspective, holistic studies are considered highly valuable (x.x. Xxxxxxxx et al., 2007; Medcof, 2008). As shown by Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx (2010), innovation processes touch upon different organizational levels, are based on different drivers, move in different structural directions, draw on different sources, and focus on different loci. Similarly, innovation management practices can be seen as configurations consisting of a vast range of managerial tasks in different hierarchical levels, taking into consideration issues such as strategy, structure, and culture, for which different tools, guidelines and concepts have been developed. From this perspective, we understand innovation more specifically as a process where micro-level activities in different subfields gradually become interlinked and tightly coupled. In our project, we will focus on these innovation processes and the ways these are managed and structured. Given that innovation management and strategy are two very well researched areas, our review cannot do justice to the full range of literature available. Furthermore, a large part of the literature is mainly concerned with internal processes, while the interest of IIT is also on how internal processes of innovation management relate to or are affected by how a company interacts with its environment. Thus, we will focus on the question how the particular type of innovation practice as open or closed, embedded into ecosystems, incremental or radical is or needs to be reflected in innovation management and strategy. Rather than aiming for one best way to manage innovation, IIT aims to provide insights into effective organizational configurations in different contexts. Different contexts may require different...
